The last time I played three weeks ago I was driving the ball well on the front 9 and then on the back started pulling the ball off the tee.

Life got hectic and yesterday was the first time I was able to swing a club since I last played so I went to the range and found myself doing the same thing with the driver. My irons don't react this way.

Ball flight is low and not going very far and the ball starts straight and then curves to the left.

- Hit some 50% speed drivers where you start the ball right center by "pushing" the path out to the right.

This is great, thank you.

I especially like the piece where you said in the video to position my body a bit to the right.

I was noticing yesterday when I slowed down my swing that it seemed at times I was coming into it with a closed face which accounted for the times I was pulling or pull drawing the ball rather than the times I was straight drawing it. I also hit my 3W a few times off the tee yesterday and noticed that I was also straight drawing that, too. Do you think the issue is likely the same as with my driver?

Considering I used to straight fade the ball almost the entire time last year, I'm planning on going to the range tomorrow and hopefully I'll start push drawing the ball.

Needs to go down longer so it traces the green line. Your pivot is too much "around", left shoulder runs into your chin rather than traveling under it. The compensation is to then swing "around" on the downswing.

Ahh, I understand now.

I've always felt like my shoulder runs into my head the backswing. I thought because of my size and lack of flexibility that there wasn't really a way to avoid it.

Looking at the comparison, it looks like I should also try and feel like I'm standing straight up rather than swaying back.

I just tried to do it a bit and it feels a a little awkward but I'm planning on going to range tomorrow and I'll take another video. Hopefully I'll see some improvement.
